Leopard Tortoise substrait

[Kiyoko]

Hi guys.

I have a 5 year old leopard tortoise and was wondering what the best substrate is to have in his indoor home? At the moment hes on newspaper but it makes such a mess when he gets it wet and he likes to dig around so he doesn't get my joy out of newspaper for that. All in all i dont think hes very happy on newspaper but im not sure what else to try. Ive had calci-sand before but the Tropics vet advised not to use that because he may eat it and i once tried a type of hay suggested on here but the smell was awful!

I need something thats easy to change preferably (makes removing the giant poos he does much easier!) and that he can dig about in and enjoy himself in when the weathers not good enough for him to be out and about in the garden.

Any suggestions or advice?

Thanks =]
